Feeder heifers weighing 400-450 lbs sold 5.00-10.00 higher, spots 15.00 higher, with 450-500 lbs selling steady to firm on last week's active market, 5 weights traded steady on a light test and over 600 lbs were not tested. A light offering coming back from the Easter Holiday weekend but a good quality offering of steer and heifer calves with several large lots and groups of 400-600 lb heifers and steer calves selling on and active market with good demand.
